1. Start off by removing the hood release lever. It is done by releasing a clip from behind the lever, near the axel of the lever. Gently pry the clip out with a screw driver. After that pull the lever away, it will come out easily.

2. Unscrew the plastic screw under the hood release lever.

3. Lift the plastic cover on the door step by pulling it up. You don't need to remove it entirely, just loosen it enough so you can remove the plastic cover next to where the hood release lever was.

4. Now that the plastic cover is removed you have proper access to the single screw which fixes the foot rest (dead pedal) to the floor. Unscrew it. Then pull the foot rest upwards to release it.

5. The foot rest is attached with clips like this. It can be released by pulling it upwards.

6. Take the old foot rest out and put the new one in. The attachment is identical. Just do everything in reversed order to put it successfully in place.

Note: To re-attach the hood release lever, first put the clip in the lever and then press the lever in place. You will hear a snap as it gets attached.

7. Enjoy your new foot rest (dead pedal). I hope you found this guide useful.

Hello!Its a very good post. I just have a doubt, the plastic cover on the door step its very hard too take off..i couldn't do it. Did you just pull of with lots of strength or it was easy? I have an Golf station mk6.The plastic screw under the hood release lever do not screw right again, the plastic cover its making some noise..
